This is posted in General University Discussion so I don't get biased responses like I might get if I posted in the Edinburgh Unis forum.
So, I never thought I'd ask this, but what do people think about Heriot Watt? I'm studying Electrical and Electronic Engineering MEng there, and would like to know peoples opinions please
In what way? And St Andrews doesn't do engineering.
Oh, I didn't know that about St A. I meant that does it really matter much in terms of prestige etc if I do engineering at HW as opposed to somewhere with a better reputation overall? As far as I know, HW doesn't has a great overall rep.

"Prestige" means **** all. As I've already said, the oil and energy industries are full of Heriot Watt graduates - much more so than the other universities you have mentioned.

So Engineering at HW is regarded highly by employers? It's not the most encouraging sign that most people are saying here that they've never heard of it
It's a great university!! Fourth university in Scotland on the league tables (I know they don't exactly mean a lot). It's above more well known universities like Aberdeen and Dundee!

I had offers from Edinburgh and Glasgow and chose to go to HW, is this a bad decision would you say?
I'm at Heriot Watt and I love the uni! A lot of students outside of Scotland won't have heard of it but it is known amongst employers so don't worry about that!
It's a really good uni for Engineering, Maths and some other areas. A lot of people from all over the world come to study in the Engineering courses and a few of my friends are in their final year!
I think you made a good decision with Heriot Watt! (that might be a little biased as I am a student there) If you need to reassure yourself then go on that website and it should hopefully put you at ease after looking at the feedback from graduates!
